Trail Tech Vapor Speedo/Tach w/dashboard - DRZ400S Demo

It was supposed to be a period not a z haha

This is 38spencer38's friend, I'm about 90 percent sure it's water cooled cuz you can here it after we ride for a couple hours. I'm getting the trail tech vapor for my yz 125z

I plan on doing the same thing except mine is a 2002 drz 250. Do you think I will have any major problems?

@38spencer38 It should all mount up the same... I'm not sure, but isn't the 250 air cooled? If it is, you'll have to get a different temp sensor than the standard DRZ kit. Other than that, it'll be almost a direct bolt on :-)

how tough is the install? i'm going to order one for my 400sm and i'm considering having the techs at my job install it because it's been about 3 years since i've done anything that had to do with electrical so i'm kind of iffy about doing it myself.

@MaraJade13243 The electrical was pretty easy. I left the OEM connectors in place and, after finding the appropriate wires in the harness immediately behind the connectors, used tap-splices for power, neutral light, and signals. The tach was simple: run the negative to one of the engine mount bolts with a ring terminal for ground, and put a few wraps of the sense wire around the spark plug wire w/ a zip tie to keep it in place. Temp and speed sensors came w/ everything ready to wire. POC :-)

Thanks for the feed back.

Have you had any issues with this so far? How was the installation and mounting?

I am just about to buy one, but would like to know if there any issue that I should be aware of..

[RideLVC]

@pihguam I had to make the mount because I have KX250F top clamps on the DRZ, but even that was easy. The air temp seems to run a little high (3-4 deg), but that could be heat coming of the headlights or just being in the sun. Other than that, it's been perfect.
